A IVord to the Wise.

,fTts a story oft related Th:it. in regions qui te unknown. There exists a private sanctum For the RECORD staff alone.

Where are pigeon holes in plenty, Stocked with manuscripts galore,— ^pglsere the flow of suastve language Kuslies forth with mighty roar.

But, «las. this fancied chamber Is imagination mere, For the spot where genius iurketh Is cerebral hemisphere.

Sot aspiring mortals , hearken,— If bright columns you'd insure, Seize the flying bits of genius, Jot them down in Ink secure.

Keep your little note books handy. F o r invaluable they'll be As rich stores of thought and fancy, Gathered for futurity.

The crop reiwrt issued from the of­fice of the secretary of s t a te Feb . 8, shows t h e average depth of snow a t the end of Janua ry to be: In the southern counties, 8.26 inches; in the central, i»Tf inches; In the northern, 5.88. In reply to t he question " H a s wheat during J a n u a r y suffered Injury from any cause?* 22i correspondents answered "yes, ' ' and 520 "no."

The to t a l number of bushels of Wheat reported marke ted by farmers in January is 618,532, and in the six months, August-January, 6,305,775. The amount marketed in t he six months, : August-January, is 311,949 bushels more than reported marketed in the same months las t year.

, The condition of live stock Is about 97 per cent, comparison l>elng with olwk iu good, healthy and thrifty con­dition.

Dr. Kedzie's Address on Beet Sugar .

Last Thursday evening 0 r . Kedzie gave an address before a joint commit­tee of the senate and house on the sub­vert of beet sugar . By means of an enormous chart which hung from the £rf!ery ra t t ing and reached to the floor of the house, be showed the results of the experiments in raising sugar beets ift Michigan i n 1880. The results on the chart showed tha t sugar beets m a go.«S .iu«»5iy ean *W"T. fifii^-d 'rc 4 ^ * ^ ? a € parts of the lower peninsula.

The Speeial Course*.

We are glad to notice tbat the spe­cial-course students have finished their work well pleased. The, only criticism heard has been that t.bc courses were not long enough. Most of file Biuut-ntfl say tlmt they eoulrl have nttenttod if the eonrHOR had been louger. Th<i fjHiilty will Imve wicnahm to eon^lder tftta point in planning for the next winter'H eoiir»<»«.

'L'htf program wns carried out essen-tifilly as udveitjsed, together with Sev­ern! additional features, One of the moat helpful features of these courses WHS the tnlks by prominent men lu tho various litres of farming from this and ndjolning states. Many suggestive de-falls were brought out 1» these talks bearing on tbe su<'C«*sful conduct of the tmslness of fanning under varied elreumHtant;*"S. Thwughout those courses the s tudents have been brought Into touch, with the best t bought of the day in t;he different hraucltes eonsid ered, and If these Hues of thought are followed up a s opportunity penults , much more • will ultlmateiy be gained from the courses than the information that could l>e imparted in the brief period of six w<M*ks. In fact. It Is be­lieved tJiat during their short, stay a broader outlook has boon gained by those young men, which will make it much easier for them to keep to the front In their ehoseu calling.

Although their stay with us has been no short, it Is hoped that these new friends will not forget the College. The special courses will undoubtedly be given again next winter, with per­haps some enlargement and improve­ment, and the extent to which they are patronized will largely depend on the activity of those who are just leaving us, in calling the attention of their friends to the matter. If It. is a good thing, we trust they will pass It along. and teii vi'ii'cr ymisg pica, aaU &£&<& tcs>, of these opportunlthAs. The <V>1-lege de«in»8 ORi>eciaHy to eomniend Hutse young ineu for the industry th&v have invariably shown while here and the ex«**?lh»ut qtuillty of their work, It Rpetiks well for the future success of «MHirsi»s of this character.

The history of tie growth of these iealei is, briefly, »« l-'ofknvs: The tiny • •t»::.> rivt? forth d»;Ii(nic little beings . -n M):S;I)1 as to b:e Bern with difficulty Ut ihe unni'lcd eye, btit nevertbcle^ss vi'iT active. They are. usually oval ;ni»l have ivelers and six iegs Just like other inserts. This singe usually lasts only a few hours or days, according to the species, and during: tills time they hre liable, to be transported from one lva l i ty to nnother <,n the bodies and feet of Insects, birds, etc. Although this method of rrafis]M>rtatinn may seeni to be very uncertain, their ex­treme minuteness renders it quite easy. In their wanderings they can easily crawl upon the foot of a bee or other insect and be carried to a neighboring tree, or, If they ebance to attach them­selves to the foot or plumage of a bird, they may be carried miles before alighting.

if the tiny passenger happens to alight, on the proper food-plant It runs about and soon seUcts a fit place to pass the remainder of Us life. The young louse settles down, inserts Its beak and, finding plenty of food, its growth is rapid, lu a short time there appears over its body a slight covering of waxy or cottony material , which serves l*>th for protection and for con-eoahnent. Soon after this the larva commences to secrete a firm, papery, shield-like covering, which in time be­comes the scale or covering giving the name to the insect.

Now wines the s t range par t of the story. The female keeps on growing and changes Into a mere sac, losing Iter legs, eyes, antenna;, and almost everything but her long, thread-like mouth par ts . These a r e never removed from the plant, and in some species a poison seems to be Injected into the host, which has the offect of Increasing the flow of sap to that point. While in most pnsM f||p mi'.T-e Q.bstmction of enough sap to support the life of so small n parasite would hardly be likely to seriously injure the host-plant, still this constant drain, together with the effect of the injected poison, often re­sults 1n its dentil.

The male, on the other hand, de-veiopes into a delicate winged creature somewhat resenibl'itg a very small gnat. It Is brightly colored and very dainty in appearance. However, its career Is soon cut short, for its life usually las ts only a few hours. The m.-ife 5J* firrntsbed •with two win"!1?, six iegs, amenine, and with two sots of eyes. As its life is t«»o short to require fwsi, the mouth is replaced by another pair of eyes, i t s*Khis s t rauge tha t among these insects the males have too month, but an extra pair of eyes In tt» place; while the females Isek eyes and are provided with a long, tube-tike rooroU. much emger than the entire Issly.

Miuiy of these. scae-inse«.*r> are to lie found on our native trr«e« and shrubs. Those belonging to the second grout), the targe fleshy ones, are usually confined to the branches but the t rue scale-forming species, soeb as first described, may bo seen on leaves and fruit its well. Some are to be found under the ground on roots, and some form galls. Our white pine furnishes a very pret ty example of a leaf-inhabiting form in the small white scale usually found on the needles or-leaves. To this firs*, group belong also the oyster-shell bark-louse of the apple and the dreaded San Jos6 scale which has proved so destructive in California and some of the eastern states.

Beside t he insect-* included in the two groups under discussion, many others are to be found in our green­houses, such as mealy-bugs, etc.

Although the members of this huge family may be regarded as either mainly destructive or harmless, some a re very beneficial to us, tne cochineal and shellac of commerce are the pro-ducts of scale-insects, china-wax is secreted by a bark-house, and manna is the dried honey -dew secreted by a member of this family.

Ho talked of the Wort., of the Farm, and <d" HrM<,

He tniked of the Abbey, as all Settlors

the Atr. course, And of streams of cold water with

Sophs, a t the tiowree. Till the Fre*hmon forgot his awkward

ways, His homesick feelings, and his Jone-

souo' days. At last, like one Who for delay Seeks a vain i«xeuSe, he \Valked away. The Freshman looked and .sighed: "Ah

Titat 1 n Senior t**c» might is-! "I would have lots of time to fool

away, *TM uo down town most every day. "I'd wear a starched shirt, and all of

that. And Fd crease my trousers to make

'em look flat. "I 'd Shine my shoes and get a kink In

my back. " 0 b , I'd k a fine Senior if I once got

the knack!*'

The Seuoir looked back as he went en his way,

While- the Freehn>an worked on for eight-cent pay.

"A face more innocent and disposition more sweet,

NeVr hath it been my lot to mwi, i4His modest answer, and awkward

style Prove him a Freshman in whom is no

guile. "Oh, t ha t I could be as I was then, An Innocent Freshman and bashful

again, ••With none of the cares that a Senior

has, But more of the fun of the Freshman

Class. "N'o doubtful standings with number
